Thanks, that makes sense.

What's a reasonable offset to use for the e partition on the underlying
sd device (where I'll create the cgd virtual device on top of)? The PR
demonstrates the problem but not a working label.

What I'm trying to accomplish is this:

sd6 (18GB drive)
 e  - first 1GB, used for cgd
 f+ - reserved for future use either as cgd partitions or as regular
      filesystems

If I understand you correctly, I could also use cgd0c (whole disk), and
that should correspond exactly to sd6e. Am I understanding that
correctly?
